Duke has been installed as the favorite to win the 2017 NCAA Tournament at 9/2 odds, according to Bovada.
The Blue Devils return much of their current team while adding the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation according to Scout.com, led by the projected top-2 picks in 2017 in Jayson Tatum (pictured) and Harry Giles.
Kentucky, which will lose several players to the NBA Draft but has the No. 1-ranked class, chimes in at 6/1, while newly-minted NCAA champion Villanova is at 8/1.
